Review of Unit 42

Unit 42 (2017–2019)
9/10
Great for binge or incrimental viewing, better than American formulaic cop shows
25 July 2019
Well worth checking out! Based on a cyber crimes law enforcement unit based in Brussels. I thoroughly enjoyed the storylines, writing, acting and production. Its refreshing to view quality who-dunnits that dont follow same old predictable formulae. Character development throughout the first season has been well inegrated without distracting from forward driven plot storylines. Each episode presents self contained crimes, often but not always including homicide, always requiring above average IT skills. The youngest member in the unit is female which made a big difference in realistic representation. Inclusion of a forensic pathologist with a disability is another realistic incousion, thanks to the wroters producers or casting agents who made that choice. I saw the dubbed version although subtitles were turned on also which dont exactly match dubbed dialogue. I persnally dont mind subtitles, when done well they assist in brushing up on other language skills. While that practice is popular across Europe I suppose single language Americans arent keen on this which is too bad. Netflix was started in America? I guess it makes sense theyre pandering to Americans.
